I use my windows box to delete files and folders from my FreeNas 11 U2 server. I mapped my windows 10 box to freenas via SMB shares. When I try to delete a folder, there sometimes is a hidden file called thumbs.db inside. Windows gives me an erroring telling me i cant delete the thumd.db file as its open in windows explorer. I went through a tutorial to make sure windows doesnt create the thumbs.db file in the future but my issue

My issue is remove the already created folders with the thumbs.db in them? I searched the forums and found some threads on this topic but I couldn't quite grasp what the fix was. I work in windows mostly so I am a linux/Unin newbie.
Any help is much appreciated.
